The TR-808 service notes provide full schematics for each voice. I used them to make SPICE simulations of the circuits. I also analysed the best samples I could find (The Tape808, by Goldbaby), and tweaked the sounds until the waveforms and spectral content were as close as possible to the real thing. Most of the voices have more parameters and a greater range than their hardware predecessor.

Best one out there. It's so 808 that an 808 is less 808. Thank you for your service.

This is the best 808 VST that I've used so far. The only complaint I have is when a part of the window is off screen and you move it back, there's some graphical glitches on the interface. But the sound is amazing!

Love this Drum Machine, played it alongside a well known paid for 808 and actually thought this was better. Thank you Tactile :)

This and Tromine are great, although the Tromine weighs 500 MB. Can't beat the 3.5 MB physically modeled. -==[He who controls the SPICE controls the universe!]==-
